Erc20 internal transactions

Hello every one!
Can someone please help me find how can i retrieve transactions like this:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x54aa38678ad7e927c6d825593f1bb8b2fa02af1a

with moralis API, this is eth send by a contract and i do not see them in
GET/{address}
and
GET/{address}​/erc20

is there any option to get them?

Hey @alex12

Are you sure you sent the correct transaction? :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes!
Check please “Internal Txn” tab, there is a balance.
It is virtual eth from a contract.

transactionId:
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xb8500fc9861ffabd9ef1d8bd71823301bbbf445ad3263b0808e85b31fc31e54a

What input do you want to use to receive such data? Wallet address,contract address, transaction hash or …?

One of these methods.
Wallet address of the recipient, in this case 0x54aa38678ad7e927c6d825593f1bb8b2fa02af1a

Hello, I am also interested in retrieving internal transactions. Happy to be looped in the updates regarding this. Thanks!

Just as a hint, because thats how I figured out to do it:
If the internal transaction is causing an event, you can use the moralis endpoints to fetch all events of the contract that causes the transaction. I am using this on BSC and it works fine. However, it might need some tricky tries since you need to provide the ABI json for the event in question. I cannot see it in your example, so I am not sure if this hint really works for you.

I don’t know when it will be added. But if you want to listen the only contract for these transactions you can easily open input of the transaction and you will see the receipint address there:

Would like to +1 this thread. We’d like to retrieve internal transactions using the Moralis API. For example, the following transaction has an internal transfer of 187.99 MATIC --> WMATIC which is not captured as an ERC20 transfer, therefore not reported in the Moralis API getTokenTransfers().

We need to capture these transfers because our dapp analyzes deposits into liquidity pools. In this case, the deposit consists of one ERC20 token (PolyDoge) and MATIC. Without capturing internal transfers, our code can only see half the deposit.

Please let us know when Moralis would include this functionality. And in the meanwhile, would appreciate any workaround ideas.

Thanks!

it looks like this is the event associated with that transaction:

Address 0x0d500b1d8e8ef31e21c99d1db9a6444d3adf1270
Name Transfer (index_topic_1 address from, index_topic_2 address to, uint256 value)View Source

Thanks. I’m not super familiar with events. Are you suggesting to use them as a workaround? Will internal transactions always have an event associated with them?

there will not be always an event associated with a transaction, be it internal or not

Why are events relevant here? Are you suggesting to use them as a workaround? If so, how would it work?

in some cases that internal transaction could emit an event that you could use

what is the information that you would be able to extract from current internal transaction?

I’d like to detect the transfer of 187.99 MATIC from the wallet. This transfer is not logged in getTokenTransfers() because it is not an erc20.

for native crypto transfers (MATIC) you need to use getTransactions

If possible, can you show me how to decode the output from getTransaction() to detect this transfer?

There is no way to get internal transactions using Web3 API.

Is there any estimate to add this feature? It’s very important as mentioned above by members.

Thank you.
